    Is Sunday sacredness in the Bible?

    Check the history, as its clear that Constantine as part his merging of paganism with the church issued the decree making Sunday a public festival throughout the Roman Empire, and should worship on Sunday (the first day of the week). The day of the sun was already a pagan festival from ancient...

    Is Sunday sacredness in the Bible?

    Well history shows us what happened, and there are even more statements on the Sabbath, from the Catholic Church that claim they are the ones that change the day, not the Bible or apostles or Christ, they are very clear on this: "The retention of the old pagan name of Dies Solis, for Sunday is...

    The Signs & Events of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

    So what are the events that Christians look for. One is the coming of Christ in glory, which they all show be waiting for. Jesus said:"I will come again." John 14:3 This promise will be fulfilled and the return of Christ or His second coming to this earth is the event that will finally release...

    Annihilationism, do the Wicked Perish?

    I will have to make another thread, as the Bible is clear, Christ is coming to take all of the saved at one time at the Second Coming. No Secret Rapture, no few here and there and then others or allowing some out a 'purgatory', no universal acceptance of the wicked or allowing sin to continue...

    Is Sunday sacredness in the Bible?

    Then are we free to steal, murder, and take others wifes, of course not. Gods law still stands, as long as He exists, it is a deception that the devil brings that Gods law doesn't apply. This is why you must read the Bible not allow people to deceive you by saying its from 'tradition' or the...

    Annihilationism, do the Wicked Perish?

    Lets read what does the Bible say: "And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned." Mark 16:15, 16. "Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every...

    Annihilationism, do the Wicked Perish?

    Now here is a good study by a friend of our family, Dr. Samuele Bacchiocchi: "The Greek philosopher Socrates (470-399 B. C.) traveled to Egypt to consult the Egyptians on their teachings on the immortality of the soul. Upon his return to Greece, he imparted this teaching to his most famous...

    Is Sunday sacredness in the Bible?

    Then why didn't anyone observe it then, no one did. You can arbitrarily claim 'I keep Sunday in honor of the Resurrection' but none of the Apostles or any of the early Christians began keeping Sunday as the day of worship after the resurrection. Worship is the reason for the Sabbath. It is the...

    Is Sunday sacredness in the Bible?

    So lets all go to the Temple to observe the sacrificial system, but wait, we cant do it. Can we say why this is, its plain as the proverbial 'nose on your face'. As Christ has come and through His sacrifice, as the Lamb of God, type has met antitype. He who is greater than the Temple and wrote...

    Is Sunday sacredness in the Bible?

    Gods Law of love, the 10 Commandments are everlasting they do not change as long as God exists. But even the Jews admit that the law of Moses ( or as a list of 613 Mitzvot) is arbitrary depending on the individual Rabbi or teacher interpreting it, and no longer apply as the Temple and its...

    Is Sunday sacredness in the Bible?

    Now those that kept the Sabbath were subject to great persecution as the "Christian" leaders began to make laws against the Sabbath, forcing the "day of the sun" as the day of worship to the forefront with "Sunday Laws"... Here are a few: One of the first Sunday Law enacted states "Let all...

    Is Sunday sacredness in the Bible?

    The Bible is quite silent on Sunday sacredness, so those who claim they follow 'Solo Scriptura' or the "Bible Only" Protestant Churches contradict themselves by observing it as a replacement for the Sabbath. Many say that the reason it is held as the day of worship is since Jesus rose on the...

    'Speaking in Tongues', true vs false.

    You are hitting the nail on the head, it was to spread the Gospel to all the people of the world. Act 2:4-11 KJV And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. (5) And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men...

    'Speaking in Tongues', true vs false.

    So if I say, "I speaking in tongues, you have permission to steal that car", am I just 'reflecting light' or something else. That is the problem with saying its purely 'mechanical' as it opens the way for false teachers and charlatans whose only light is not from God, more from evil itself.
